STEPHEN s. NEWTON, OE EINGHAMTON, NEW YORK.

BOTTLE-STOPPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 280,503, dated July 3,1883.

Application filed March 4, 1882.

To a/ZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, STEPHEN S. NEWTON, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, re siding at Binghamton, in the county of Broome and State ofNew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inBottle-Stoppers and I do hereby declare the following to be afull,clear, and eXact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, andto letters orfigures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of thisspecification.

Figure l is a vertical section of abottlehaving my invention appliedthereto. Fig. 2 is a similar section, showing a modified form of a partof the invention; and Figs. 3, 4, and 5 are detached views of details.

In Figs.` l and 2, A is a discharge-tube, having a port, a, near itsupper end. B is an eX- panded head, its lower portion being flaring, asat b. The tube A is screw-threaded externally. C F are respectively theupper and lower parts of a cylindrical tube surrounding thedischarge-tubef is a groove formed between the adjacent ends of thecylindrical tubes C F. E is an internally-threaded ring or cylinder,adapted to engage with the threads of the discharge-tube. In Fig. 1 thisthreaded cylinder is held in place by a flange at its upper end, seatedin the groove f, where it is confined by means of a cut ring, G. In Fig.2 the ring E is made of rubber7 seated in groove 35 f, and iittingclosely thereto.

By preference I construct the upper endY of cylinder E with projectingears e e, (see Fig. 3,) which take into vertical grooves e e', formed inthe inner faces of the upper cylindrical part,

(No model.)

C, whereby the threaded cylinder is eft'ectually prevented from turningaround when the tube A is rotated, which may .be readily done by meansof the knob B, the edge or side of which should be milled; but, insteadof lugs e e, the upper edge'of cylinder E may be notched, as indicatedin dotted lines at e, Fig. 3, and iit over inwardly-projecting verticalribs on the part C, which will accomplish the same end.

In the drawings I have represented parts C, F as constituting the neckof a bottle, being formed, in one piece with the body, of either glassor metal. Vhen preferred, the lower end of the discharge-tube may beslitted and expanded outwardly by means of a suitable instrument, asshown in Fig. 1, to b'e inserted through the port c after thedischarge-tube has been screwed into the neck of the bottle, thusforming a flange, d, adapted to restrict the upward movement of thedischarge-tube within certain limits.

What I claim is- 1. In a .bottle-stopper, the combination of cylindricalportions O F, the groove or seat f, the screw-threaded discharge-tubeA,and an internally-screw-threaded section secured in the groove f,substantially as set forth.

2. Inabottle-stopper, the combination,with the cylindrical portions CAF, of the screwthreaded discharge-tube A, the screw-threaded cylinder E,and the retaining-ring G, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I afliX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
